Chapter 449: Mei Ge
The man's hand paused, as if he didn't expect that Red Silk would stuff a purse into him. After hesitating for a moment, he put the purse in his sleeve and said with a smile: "Thank you, girl!" Girl, please go this way. ”
Lan Xin smiled and walked forward behind the man. The man took Lan Xin's master and servant to bypass the sixteen landscape screens, and then saw the stairs going upstairs. On one side of the staircase against the wall, next to the handrail on the other side, hangs a six-foot-wide embroidered screen of flowers and wealth.
Lan Xin pursed his lips and smiled, the design of this theater is really quite unique. The staircase is designed to be private, so that you can go up and down the stairs from here, or even leave, without being noticed by the people in the hall.
As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I saw Lu Qiu standing at the corner of the stairs. Lan Xin smiled and greeted the person in front of him, "Uncle Qiu, is Uncle Lu inside?" ”
Although Lu Qiu has been by Lu Sheng's side for many years, he is introverted and down-to-earth, and he never trusts him big, he returned the salute and said with a smile: "Jade girl." My family has been here for a while, and I'm waiting for you inside! Girl, go in quickly! As he spoke, Lu Qiu turned sideways and made a gesture of please.
Lan Xin nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle Qiu, please." Lan Xin has also investigated Lu Qiu, knows his status in the Lu family, and respects his loyalty to the Lu family. So every time I see someone, I treat them with courtesy.
Lu Qiu walked about ten steps with people, only to see a plum-shaped sign hanging on the door of a private room, and the two big characters "Mei Ge" were written on the sign.
Lu Qiu stopped, sideways and said with a smile: "My adult is waiting for the girl inside, please come in!" Lan Xin saw that no one had the intention of going in, and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Qiu." As he spoke, he nodded to Hongxuan behind him, motioning for her to stay outside and wait for her.
Hongxuan hesitated, glanced at Lu Qiu beside her, and looked at Lan Xin without saying anything. Although Lord Lu is a trustworthy person, but now that the matter of purple clothes has just happened, it can be regarded as an eventful season, and she is a little worried that the girl will go in alone. But seeing that her girl insisted, she had to stop.
Lan Xin raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, and heard a gentle voice sound inside: "It's the jade girl, come in!" Lan Xin smiled and pushed open the door, bypassing the eight red plum Aoxue screens at the door, and saw Lu Sheng sitting on the circle chair at the table, looking at her with a smile.
Lu Sheng was wearing a brown robe embroidered with a hollow pattern today, and he used a mutton fat hosta to tie his hair neatly on the top of his head. Seeing Lan Xin come in, a warm smile appeared on his round face, and he greeted with a smile: "Girl, come and sit!" ”
Lan Xin smiled and curtsied, "I've seen Uncle Lu." Lu Sheng smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite. Lan Xin sat on the circle chair opposite Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled and lifted the white silver kettle on the stove and poured a cup of tea for Lan Xin. smiled and said, "Drink a cup of tea to warm up, the humidity is too heavy this day." ”
After Lan Xin thanked him, he picked up the cup and took two sips gently, and the warm tea soup slowly flowed down his throat to his stomach, and his whole body was warm and very comfortable. After putting down the teacup, Lan Xin looked at the furnishings in the room with great interest, and she found that the room was very large, probably enough to accommodate about a dozen people.
On the wall hangs a huge picture of a plum tree, and light smoke rises from the hollowed-out incense burner, with the fragrance of plum blossoms. In the middle of the room is a huge table of eight immortals, surrounded by brocade tiles carved with plum blossoms. And where Lan Xin is now, he is leaning against the small table by the window.
There are two circle chairs on both sides of the small table, on which are placed five-color boxes of dried fruits, as well as pineapple cake, red bean crisp, and shortbread. Amazingly, the sweets are also made in the shape of plum blossoms. Lan Xin sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being called Mei Ge, and the shadow of Mei can be seen everywhere.
Lu Sheng looked at Lan Xin with great interest and curiosity, not only did he not feel vulgar, but he felt kind. He was happy in his heart, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he asked in a gentle voice, "How is it, what do you think of here?" ”
After looking around with a smile, Lan Xin tilted his head and said, "Uncle Tolu's blessing, it's the first time I've come to the theater to listen to the play, so I'm naturally a little curious." As he spoke, he leaned on the window and craned his neck to look out. The location is just right for the theater stage, and you can even see the entire lobby.
Lan Xin saw the surroundings of the lobby, a few people standing, although there is no difference in dress, but the temperament of the whole body is incompatible with here. Lan Xin could tell from their standing posture that they should be the head catchers in the yamen. Thinking about the identity of the person sitting opposite, it is not surprising that several people appear here.
Lan Xin withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the stage. The people with big flower faces were babbling and singing. Lan Xin didn't dare to be interested in opera, so he retracted his gaze after a few glances. Raised his hand to add some tea to Lu Sheng's tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Does Uncle Lu like to listen to operas?" ”
Lu Sheng took a few sips of tea, put down the teacup, turned his head to look at the people on the stage, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I didn't like it either. I just felt that they babbled for a long time, and they didn't sing a word, so naturally they were not interested in listening. Later, my mother liked to listen to the opera, so I sat on the side and listened to it. If you come and go, you will be able to listen to it once or twice. ”
Mrs. Lu was widowed in her early years, and she raised Lu Sheng alone. When Lu Sheng was young, his family conditions were difficult, so he was naturally reluctant to pay for the play. After Lu Sheng won the champion, the official robe was added, and the situation at home gradually improved, Lu Sheng is also a filial person, so he naturally wants to meet his mother's preferences.
"Huh!" Lan Xin laughed and joked with a smile, "I didn't think that Uncle Lu's impression on his nephew has always been calm and introverted, but I didn't expect that there would be times when I couldn't sit still." ”
Looking at Lan Xin, whose eyebrows and eyes were crooked, Lu Sheng's round face was rarely flushed. He glared at her with disgust, "Uncle Lu also had a young age, okay?" As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed first. He leaned back in his chair and sat down relaxed. I thought to myself: Now, probably only this girl dares to joke with herself unscrupulously, right?
At first, it was because of her parents who took care of her. But after a few contacts, he gradually put aside other reasons and treated her like a nephew. This girl is bold and intelligent, faintly, and the two seem to have become friends who can talk about the year.
